do you put on fertilizer first then water to rinse any leaves that got it on them I have the foaming kind?

I dilute in bucket and apply to the base avoiding leaves. I do water a little afterwards cause some are too concentrated and could burn your plant.

I usually give the plants a little drink just before I add the fertilizer , and then a little more water afterwards , the plant pots sit in drip containers and as long as there isn't an over abundance of water , I just let the plants drink as they need to . I haven't had any problems feeding my plants this way . If I do get any fertilizer directly on the leaves , I use the spray nozzle on the kitchen sink to lightly rinse them off . I hope this helps , good luck , and have a wonderful day , or night whichever it may be .

That makes sense. I have both kinds. Yes, with the foaming one you just give it a squirt near the base, then water. I have only used the foam once, but I know the other one works very well... my plants (succulents and cacti) love it.

You have to shae the botle to release the fertilizer. It comes in so called pearlets so all ingridients are always mixed. you shuld water after applying to get the fertilizer released. I use it only for outdoor and there is rain coming to release it. Hope it helps.

No need to soak..If you have the correct mixture...Contact with leaves will be enough

it's not so much about how long you wait, it's about making sure that the individual components are fully dissolved ie: add fertilizer first and be sure that it's fully dissolved then you can add cal nitrate and stir until fully dissolved and then Epsom salts and stir until fully dissolved. If this method is not used apparently you have a nutrient lockout situation and the plants as a result will suffer, Hope this helps, Cheers!

I still trench and fertilize with very good results. The plants seem to take the fertilizer they need. I haven't over watered or over fertilized since I started using the Earthbox.

one scoop ( should have come with powder) per gallon of water. Scoop is .9gr. Mix with two teaspoons of Non-ionic surfactant (or Dawn liquid dishing soap). Apply mixture about two days after mowing and four days before mowing. You will see the nutgrass growing higher than the normal grass. Wet area thoroughly. Do not apply to stressed grass or in high temperatures. Absolute minimum time before rain is four hours. The longer the better.

I ph my water and soak it in it till it fattens all the way up. Then i squeeze it gently and let it absorb it again. I do that a few times before u put the seedling in two seeds dept.

There are other bacterial agents that are intended for soil treatment. Google it. Not this one. If you spray the plants from the beginning the fungus will have hard time establishing on the leaf.

You spray the leaves. This is to put chelates iron on the citrus treeTo get sweet oranges, I fertilize 4 or 5 times. I use stakes. U.drive into the ground for 2 applicationsI use bags of citrus fertilizer for the other feedingsThe amount to use for all feedings depends on the size of the treeDirections are on the packages in all casesHope I can read thisThe type size for this answer is much to small

No, drain the initial water out & then refill it. You do NOT want stagnant water in your sprouts. The whole point is to rinse them. Hope that helps. :)

if you used the soil in containers. I have only used it in aquatic containers. I put a layer of the prewetted soil in the container then my plant then another layer of the prewetted soil and push in an aquatic fertilizer pellet and cover the top of the container with a thin layer of washed pea gravel. I would contact the manufacturer to see if you could use this product as total bottom coverage for an aquarium. I repot my plants every year.

you mix it with water according to the instructions, then spray it onto your plants using a spray bottle

I put mine in the bathtub and soak it with dish soap and water. Then I use a cleaning brush and scrub lightly (front and back) to prevent grass from falling out. If it's really smelly and dirty I add a lil bit of clorox to the soap water.

Yes. I teaspoon per gallon of water. Also add 1 teaspoon of a surfactant like Bonide 097 Turbo Spreader to help it stick to the weeds. When you spray it, hit the weeds very lightly with each treatment. No need to soak them. Tenacity works great. I used it last year on the nimblewill in our yard.

Absolutely clean it first. The product directions are specific about surface preparation for optimal results. I would wire brush it, spray a vinegar/hot water solution to address the algae, rinse, and paint the surface when dry.

I would just put one fertilizer pellet into the feeder, stick the feeder into the ground just outside the root ball area, run water through it just until the fertilizer is dissolved (probably about 10 minutes. Then I would repeat it on the other side of the root ball. Repeat on the second tree.Once or twice a year should be adequate for the fertilizer. If in between the trees get stressed by lack of water, you could water their roots for 10 to 15 minutes. It just depends on how wet or dry your location is.

I find that it's best to clean it often..before the base gets gross. Running it through the dishwasher in the top rack is one easy solution. I have also used ZOOM ( a foaming spray cleaner). I let it bubble like crazy, then rinse well with really hot water. Both ways will get your grassy bottom clean! (sorry, couldn't resist that one)
